Very interesting stuff, as always, Jean Michel is so didactic !

I study a lot with Bruce Arnold, and we practice singing and hearing lines, harmony, and rhythm together. He diagnoses me like you did here. So, how does one study with the Maestro Jean? (Seriously)

hi Professor Jean,
I really liked all of your tutorial. I had some confusion with my playing that i think you can solve . It is that i can sing and play exactly the same notes in my instrument but can't figure out the interval exactly.And next thing is do i need to sing it in solfege style like do re mi fa or could i just hum and make my own noise and imitate on my instrument?

IMO it's bad teaching right there. Singing the line is aural recall, but in order to play it you need to identify what notes were played. Interval training is bound to fail for most people. Same for just trying and trying...
